==Unsourced/possible LLM edits== {{atop|status=Too soon|1=OP is reminded to [[WP:BITE|not bite the newbies]]. - [[User:The Bushranger|The Bushranger]] <sub>[[User talk:The Bushranger|<span style="color: maroon;">One ping only</span>]]</sub> 02:55, 16 March 2026 (UTC)}} [[User:Owld26]] is repeatedly performing edits that add unsourced "analysis" to an article, e. g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marc_Rosenbaum&diff=prev&oldid=1343695049] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kymco_People&diff=prev&oldid=1343698701], as well as rewording sentences in a clumsy manner that suggests they are ussing an LLM (diffs [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Singapore_at_the_2025_SEA_Games&diff=prev&oldid=1343697544] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Don_Jazzy&diff=prev&oldid=1343700642]. [[User:Somepinkdude|Somepinkdude]] ([[User talk:Somepinkdude|talk]]) 23:22, 15 March 2026 (UTC) :Can you explain why you think the first step after a level 1 template warning (left by someone else, and the only other thing on their Talk page) is an immediate ANI? You didn't even try to talk with the editor about this (who is also new, so this comes across a bit [[WP:BITE]]y). I also fail to see how the linked diffs demonstrate any [[WP:LLMSIGNS]] - changing the word "clabbed" to "clothed" is clumsy and LLM-like, really? They are doing the standard newcomer suggested task of revising tone: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Newcomer_Tasks#revise-tone <span style="color:blue; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Avenir,Arial,Comic Sans MS; font-size:125%">[[User:MolecularPilot|'''M'''olecular'''P'''ilot]][[User talk:MolecularPilot|<sup>'''Talk'''</sup>]]</span> 23:28, 15 March 2026 (UTC) ::Looks more like a newcomer task issue than an AI issue. This task is, in my opinion, not necessarily ideal to give to newcomers, as figuring out what is or isn't encyclopedic tone (and what even has to be changed) is something you progressively intuit, and there is more potential for unintentional damage. I don't think Owld26 should be blamed for that, but I think it should spark a broader conversation about how much (or how little) guidance we are providing to new editors when giving them tasks that they might not be fully familiar with.{{pb}}I'm not sure if the quiz that the link describes has been implemented or is still at the prototyping stage. Either way, it is a step in the right direction, and gives us something we can focus our efforts on, in order to make the intent of the task clearer. [[User:Chaotic Enby|<span style="color:#8a7500">Chaotic <span style="color:#9e5cb1">Enby</span></span>]] ([[User talk:Chaotic Enby|talk]] Β· [[Special:Contributions/Chaotic Enby|contribs]]) 23:43, 15 March 2026 (UTC) :::Yes, I agree about the task. I'm not too sure about the quiz, but it does seem like a good idea. I just really think this ANI is far too premature, the opener didn't even try to talk to Owld26 about their tone edits and immediately comes here to try and get someone, who just created their account today, immediately sanctioned, with frankly quite underwhelming evidence that allegedly suggests "AI use" (which, even if claims of AI use were substantiated, a warning / discussion on there Talk about it would be a necessary first step before ANI). The only Talk messages Owld26 has ever received are a level 1 warning (from a different editor) and this ANI notice. <span style="color:blue; font-variant:small-caps; font-family:Avenir,Arial,Comic Sans MS; font-size:125%">[[User:MolecularPilot|'''M'''olecular'''P'''ilot]][[User talk:MolecularPilot|<sup>'''Talk'''</sup>]]</span> 00:42, 16 March 2026 (UTC) {{abot}}
